A good beginning 👍
Jews in the Land of Israel -a poem by Yehuda Amichai
Yom Kippur is on the 12th of October.
Will Israel still be at war on that day?
It's possible that there's nothing
that the world's only superpower
can't get away, with but all this
doesn't sound too reassuring :

Re - my earlier comment : " The idea that "Netanyahu and Biden - Harris may have sacrificed the nation state of Israel " is at the heart of a conspiracy theory that has been gaining traction in some circles, God forbid - the main question being to what extent are Biden-Harris prepared to throw Israel under the bus thereby solving the problem for once and all by ardently working for Israel's replacement , namely Ukraine as the alternative new holy land to which world Jewry should make aliyah should Israel be defeated in the next world war "

These wars are not sustainable or meant to last forever, or are they? People are leaving the country. There is an ongoing mass exodus of Israelis, from Israel since October 7.Are the Israeli soldiers not supposed to be war-weary by now and with new adversaries are they not going to be thinly stretched out ?
In my opinion, by not stopping the war Biden-Harris are complicit in literally throwing Israel under the bus. There was the corruption-beleaguered Netanyahu who many Israeli commentators have said does not want to stop the war because the minute the war is over he will be standing trial for the corruption charges that are pending and that by all means, he does not want to face those charges; in fact I thought that whilst he was up there in the air on his way to make his big speech at the UN General Assembly in New York, the ICC would have issued an arrest order for him so that he would be arrested on the spot when he arrived at JFK Airport and then summarily flown to the Hague to face charges of being the commander-in-chief of genocide - the ongoing Arab Holocaust in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, and that he would be tried for that and other crimes against humanity; but instead there he was, sounding more arrogant and more defiant than ever, pontificating at the UN and holding up, not the Torah version of God's conditions for living in the Promised Land, namely the Blessings and Curses, but his own concoction which regards himself as a fountain of blessings and not a curse. There he stood, holding up a map showing some great countries that according to his own imagination are cursed and those like himself who he believes is "Blessed". He probably thinks that the God of Israel is looking down upon him with loving approval and blessings for all the things that he has been doing and saying, such as blessing himself and cursing others.
The awesome Hebrew prophecies which do not seem to have accurately forecast the scale of the Holocaust, the the post-Holocaust theology, and the fringe anti-Zionist movements such as Satmar & Neturei Karta notwithstanding, it's difficult to imagine that there would be any Benjamin Netanyahu or land of Israel that would survive a third world war with Israel as its epicentre - even if they sacrificed to Moloch and nuked every non-Jew in the vicinity. How the chosen few survivors, if any ,would survive and live happily ever after in that neighbourhood is difficult to imagine. I suppose it also demands a lot of bitachon to not question the idea that the Israel that was reconstituted and approved by the League of Nations in 1948 now needs nuclear weapons to stay alive. It's possible that to atheists, the idea of God having to protect His chosen people with nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles is reprehensible ,but on the other hand that's what Israel's first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion said;
"I don't understand your optimism. Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been antisemitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that? They may perhaps forget in one or two generations' time, but for the moment there is no chance. So, it's simple: we have to stay strong and maintain a powerful army. Our whole policy is there. Otherwise the Arabs will wipe us out."
Well , as we have it in Mishlei /Proverbs 3:5-6 , " Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely upon your understanding. Know Him in all your ways, and He will direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own sight; fear the Lord and turn away from evil"
There are several references to "New Jerusalem"...there's William Blake's Jerusalem, there's Jerusalem - Unofficial Anthem of England. Is there any reason why instead of "hymietown", New York could not be renamed " New Jerusalem"?. Then the Third Temple could be consecrated and rebuilt there and not cause more tensions about the future of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the rest of the Middle East
Numerically speaking, it would seem that in terms of the number of people who identify as Jewish, the United States is already the second holy land (after Israel) so Ukraine as holy land number 2 could be less probable In the aftermath of the third World War that would have involved all the world's nuclear powers.
As my friend from Iraq - Ali - ( Sunni Muslim) used to say, some twenty three years ago,
" If George W. Bush loves the Jews so much, he should give them half of Texas…"

Possibly mitigating against such a scenario - especially for The United States, the UK, the EU countries (the resurrected old Holy Roman Empire etc) would be the wrong outcome of the upcoming Battle of Armageddon and / or the postponement of Christian eschatology about Jesus coming sooner than later to reign for a thousand years of peace and tranquillity during which reign he will spread the true light to all corners of the world, from Yerushaliyim

Assuming that they were looking away,this wouldn't be for long. Israel's bombingof a Russian air base in Syria changeseverything. China wants its commoditiesto move through the Gulf of Hormuzunimpeded, and in any case, theNeocons in Washington and Israelhave united the Dragon and the Bearthrough their myopic behavior.
The geopolitical architecture has
changed, and the military advantagemay not be on the side of Tel Avivand Washington.
It is one thing to massacreunarmed civilians, and another, toattack an adversary armed to theteeth with hypersonic missiles, andstate of the art drones, within anemerging coalition of resistance.
For personal gain, and with a falsesense of invincibility, Netanyahuand Biden -Harris may have sacrificedthe nation state of Israel. Timewill tell.
I loved those six observables thatProfessor Sabella Abiddearticulated. Without radical reformof presidential campaign financing,US administrations wouldcontinue to be puppets ofthe donors - and their agendas.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Six observables - you see it and you know itEXTERNAL EMAIL: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click any links or open any attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.
I expected, but didn't see the seventh "observable", which should have been why China and Russia (two world powers who are not Israel and U.S allies)were/are looking the other way while all these were/are happening.
I still (eagely) await this seventh 'observable".
Six Observables: First, in recent years, Israel has not gone to war without the support of the US and its allies. Netanyahu knows this, and that is why he is so cocky and eager to confront Iran. He knows he would not stand a chance without the support of the western military and intelligence. He knows it!
Second, the Israeli military can overtly and covertly attack Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, and the world – afraid of the US and her allies – will say and do nothing about it. It is one of the reasons why Benjamin Netanyahu can get away with large-scale murders and exterminations.
Third, Ukraine has not suffered a tenth of the indignity, iniquity, and killings at the hands of Russia that Palestinians have suffered at the hands of the Israeli government. Still, you would think that the senseless killings and heart-wrenching destructions in Ukraine are a million times greater than what is going on in Palestine and Lebanon.
Fourth, for 35 years at least, an average of 50 Palestinians have died every month at the hands of the Israeli government. But when the Palestinians protested and demanded their right, many western media, institutions, and governments labeled them terrorists, troublemakers, and agents of destruction.
Fifth, the US government could have brought and can still bring the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to an end. No, oh no! Every American president since Ronald Reagan seems scared…scared of losing votes, scared of scathing media editorials, scared of losing monetary donations, scared of not being invited to Israel, and terrified of being labeled anti-Israel.
Sixth, some African presidents kowtow before US and Western European presidents. They take orders from them, and many even defecate and pee in their pants when they are summoned individually and collectively to Western capitals. Ironically, many western leaders kowtow before Benjamin Netanyahu. They are afraid of him, very afraid of him.
